ing molding, and more particularly to such as are employed for molding the faces ofY blocks of wood used for ornamentation in cabinet and carpenters work, plinth blocks, brackets, balusters, newel posts, &c., the ob- `ject of the invention being to produce a simple and efficient means for supporting and carrying the material to be operated upon.

2o A further object is to provide a simple,

light and efficient framework or support for the operating parts of the machine.

A further object is to produce a molding machine which shall be neat in appearance tions.

/Vith these objects in view the inventionl consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter Set forth and pointed out in the claim.

. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side view of myimprovements. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Figs. 3, 4 and 5 illustrate the style of molding capable of production by means of my improved machine. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the machine. Fig. 7 is an end view.

A represents the frame for supporting the operating parts of the machine,` and cornprises two upright plates or standards A of substantiallyT-shape, which are connected together at their narrowest portions by means and uprights or standards being secured together by means of suitable bolts a. Mounted in suitable boxes in the side plates "\or nprights A is a shaft C, which carriesa series of cutter heads C', each carrying a series of cutters C2 of a preferred form, all the and effectual in the performance of its funcof a hollow rectangular trunk,B,-said trunk' cutters acting together to produce a molding of the desired design. y

Guards or fenders b, c are preferably lo. cated' between the plates or standards A and in proximity to the cutter heads. The upper edges of the uprights or standards are flanged to produce tracks d on which the wheels c of a carriageD are adapted'to run. The forward cross bar f of the carriage D is preferably made hollow to secure lightness and 6o rigidity and the sidebars of the carriage are cast with their inner faces open or recessed for the reception of the ends of a movable cross bar E, ywhich is also preferably made hollow.

In proximity to each end of the movable cross bar E, a nut gis located therein, through which nuts screws F pass, the screw at one side of the machine being made right-handed and the screw at the other side being made 7o left handed. The forward ends of the screws F are made plain and pass through the hollow end bar f and at their outer extremities beyond said cross bar f are screw-threaded for c the reception of nuts h. The inner ends of the screws are made plain and -pass loosely through the cross bar t' at the inner end of the carriage, and are provided with bevel pinions j,j, which mesh with bevel pinions 7c, 7a carried by a transverse shaft Z at the inner end 8o of the machine. The shaft Zis provided with a hand wheel m, by operating which the shaft Zwill be rotated, and, through the medium of the gearing above explained, the screwsF will be rotated and the movable cross bar E 8 5 moved forward or backward to clamp the material to be acted upon between it and the cross bar f or'release it therefrom. y

Located between the platesor uprights A',

at the rear end of the machine, is a table G, 9o

to which a depending bracket qt is secured and provided with a ange or projection o. A bracketp is secured to the frame oflthe machine and atits lowerend is provided with an arm or iange q. The armor flange qand the ange or projection vo areprovided with screw-threaded perforations forthe accommodation of a screw l', theportion ofthe screw passing through .the arm or ange q being made plain. lThe screw is provided zoo with aheador knobs bymeansof which to operateiit. `E-QByaturning the-screw r' the ltable will be moved up or down as desired.

Instead of providing the carriage with 5 wheels, slides maybe employed to run on the tracks dat the upper ,edges ofwtheside rplates or standards ofit'he machine.

In operating the machine, the carriagewill be drawn to a position directly above the to table G. The material to be molded willthen be placed on the table, with "the face to 'be' ,ii-telescopen iHcnce-'Ldcfnot wish 'to liinitmysclf z 5 i,1o.,th@precisare-details ,-.oy construction. ,herein i fsctftorth tribut,
